Why is taste soo important?

[DiBol]

I don't understand why soo many people complain about the taste of a supplement or why protein mixes of any other product that is supposed to help them bulk up more or whatever...
Why is taste soo important when it comes to supplements?
I could care less about taste if its doing my body good..
If you want taste go to McDonnald's and eat a big mac or something...
I mix my Whey protein with a can of beer.

when there are so many good tasting options for protein powder why would you use one that tastes bad? would you eat a piece of steak if it wasn't done right?

I could care less what something taste like if its doing my body good after a workout...
These people that complain about taste remind me of little girls...
If i worried about taste all the time I would probably be a big fat pig...
Your bellies are home worrying about taste while your minds are thinking of whether or not you want to go to the gym.

How can we take this question srs when your argument includes: "If you want taste go to McDonnald's"

[TolerantLactose]

I'm guessing taste is irrelevant when the supplement never touches the tongue.

Would You sacrifice (TASTE) for a great looking body?

[DiBol]

C'mon people.....Sacrifice your tongue (taste) or you will never get anywhere but stuck and fat.

IME any decent pre workout tastes like ****, so I either brush my teeth or pop some mints after mixing a scoop and a half with 4-5 oz of water to choke it down as fast as possible.

I’ve never tasted a bad protein powder though. Some are better than others but ON is good enough and on the cheaper side anyway.

[DiBol]

It really does amaze me... I just bought 'Body Fortress Whey Protein" at walmart and on the container it says "Amazing new taste". I never buy this junk..... Its all a scam... SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE!

In this day and age, taste should be well above average with most if not all supplements

[powercage]

It isn't. But the average joe has no idea what they are doing, so they focus on taste and stimulant rush. That's all that matters for sales.

I can't believe what weak stomach's some people have that they can't handle a little bad taste from these protein mixes and other supplements..
You people remind me of little girls...

Because you drink 2 scoops a day and 2 kg size if not tasty can take forever!

Would you continue to eat at a restaurant that has bad tasting food?

I don’t sacrifice taste and I’m pretty lean and muscular and I dont use supplements besides like coffee

I went through a phase where I mixed milk, kiwi-flavoured whey and beef liver and drank that every day so I clearly have defective taste buds. You need to sit down and shut up.

i would love to have you sip on some unflavored, hydrolyzed whey and see how much you don't mind the taste. in fact, depending which city you're in i'd be willing to film it and we can put it up on youtube

What i'm trying to get at is who cares about taste in protein mixes and other supplements when your trying to lose weight r gain muscle?
Some of you seem like you care more about taste than you care about the benefits your getting out of these mixes and supplements..
Eating meals is completely different when it comes to taste..

Are you being intentionally daft?
Back in the day when whey tasted like ****, we all still used it. Today protein tastes good, hell some even taste amazing. You don't need to wash down ass water anymore and you can get the EXACT SAME benefits. If someone was offering you 2 drinks, one tastes like piss and one tastes like birthday cake and both gave you the EXACT SAME benefits, what are you going to drink?

Taste is about dopamine release, more so from sugar than anything else.

When we get a dopamine hit we feel good.

It’s an evolutionary trait of our brain. Taste is important but not necessary.

The late great Charles Poliquin used to say when you’re stressed you crave carbs, you don’t crave a ribeye or broccoli sprouts.

It's 2021 not pre-2010. There's no excuse for things tasting bad nowadays. If they do it is a) negligence on the companies behalf b) probably not a quality product or c) the company is just flat out lazy and doesn't care about the consumer.
